| Hunt LED Marquee project organizers in need of skilled professionals! |
The Hunt PTO has been busy on a project for the past
two years: raising the funds and clearing other hurdles to installing an LED
marquee for Hunt outreach. We have changed the zoning ordinance at City Council.
Raised $9,500 (just got $2,500 on 10/28/13!). Now we need to rally the community
to help us keep costs down.
We need these professionals to help
us:
- Structural engineer will provide actual sizes and dimensions of the steel pole(s) footing, etc. They will give us a design and seal it for the Building Inspector.
- Electrician to bring power to the site and make the connection
- Stone mason to wrap the steel support frame in bricks like the BHS marquee.
- Excavation contractor to do the site work, remove sections of chain link fence and install replacement concrete for the sidewalk.
Please contact Brian Pine at 578-6953 if you can help us out or know
someone who may be willing to help.
Do you shop at Hannaford? You can earn money for
Hunt without even trying. From September 1 to December 1, 2013, when you purchase participating products, you earn "school dollars" that Hunt can use. Our local Hannaford will give an additional $1,000 to the school in their area that earns the most money. CP Smith and Flynn have won extra $1,000 in recent years. How do you raise money for your school shopping at Hannaford?

| It's time again for our annual magazine drive! |
This is the student council's only direct fundraiser and all of the money raised goes to activities and purchases chosen and organized by the students themselves. Over the years, the student council has spent money on many terrific things that kids enjoy, like our PAWS mascot costume, the comfy chairs in the learning center, iPads, the band's drum set, sports equipment, and many, many other things.
The student council supports regular events like the talent show and spirit days. We have also contributed to student-selected charities, and have responded to funding requests from classes, teams, and clubs throughout the school. A chunk of money always goes back to teams for field trips and activities. And finally, we pay for the eighth grade dance and the buses for the annual eighth grade trip. And most of the money for all of this work comes from the magazine drive. So if you are willing and able to help out, please consider ordering a magazine from your favorite Hunt student.
You can see kids directly, or you can order on line through this link: www.gaschoolstore.com. School pin # 2649085. Thank you for your support!

Bring in those Box Tops AND Recycle your shoes!!
Don't forget to place your pre-loved shoes, boots, athletic shoes, and sandals into the specially marked box, "ShoeBox Recycling", in the main lobby at Hunt. Shoes should not end up in our overflowing landfills when they can be re-used by others who need them. Our student council gets close to $20 per box too, so keep those shoes coming!!
Contact Susanrutherford@hotmail.com with questions.
Contact Susanrutherford@hotmail.com with questions.
Last chance for the fall/winter session to get in those Box Tops for Education! The deadline to mail the box tops away, for this season, is just 2 weeks away. Spend a minute looking in your junk drawer, closets and on top of cabinets to find the piles of Box Tops you put away this year to bring to Hunt and send them in!
Thank you so much for collecting them! Now we just need to get them to the Hunt office in the specially marked can so that our own Hunt Student Council can count them and mail them away. The student council earns .10 cents on each Box Top and even more on the Bonus Certificates. Send them in even if the dates are expired! (some will be accepted!) Just send them in! Ten cents per Box Top may not seem like a lot but they add up!
Contact SusanRutherford@hotmail.com with any questions or Alden Wheeler at aldenw74@gmail.com, Student Council secretary.
